Was off the water for a bit with a busted rib, so my very understanding wife let me take on a little project to pick away at after the kids go to bed.
Figure I would post some pics and share my experience. I have done a few moderate board repairs, and a few other small composite jobs, but this was my first board. Lot’s of good info / tips available online, notably Swaylocks.
My current hydrofoil board was a 5.0 converted surfboard. Good for learning, but heavish. limited rocker and more size and volume than what is required. The mast track is too far forward for a surf foil, so despite drilling my plate to get the mast another inch back, I still learned and ride it strapless.
